Why does DNA replication only happen once during meiosis?

Biology
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago

DNA replication only happens during meiosis because the chromosome number of the species remains the same from one generation to the next, the chromosome number of germ cells must be reduced by half during meiosis. To achieve this feat, meiosis, unlike mitosis involves a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division.
